Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 0.22.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The reviewed execution and network behavior is tied to CLI functionality and the package’s own update mechanism, with no install hook or concrete attack behavior established. The scanner’s high-risk signals do not, by themselves, show malicious conduct. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T04:52:44.869Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T04:53:08.337Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 631 ms - **AI review time:** 21816 ms - **Total time:** 23468 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was identified. The CLI includes a package-aligned background self-update path and a task-runner helper. - **Trigger:** The update path runs when a user starts the TUI; the task runner is invoked through the ablation functionality. - **Impact:** A newer CLI release may replace the global installation after the user starts the TUI; the inspected code does not establish unrelated code execution or data exposure. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:53:08.337Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The TUI checks the npm registry and can launch npm to install a newer global release of this CLI. The ablation helper launches fixed tasks through npx. - **Rationale:** The reviewed execution and network behavior is tied to CLI functionality and the package’s own update mechanism, with no install hook or concrete attack behavior established. The scanner’s high-risk signals do not, by themselves, show malicious conduct. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/ablate-task.js, dist/main.js, dist/tui.js, dist/update-check.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/-/package/@hmharness/cli/dist-tags ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; its only script is a build command, and its dependencies are first-party @hmharness packages., The ablation helper launches a fixed task through npx from a hard-coded project directory; this is command execution tied to that helper’s task runs., The REPL checks for updates when invoked, and the TUI can start a detached global install of a newer @hmharness/cli version by default; the user can disable this in configuration., The update check fetches the latest dist-tag from the npm registry, and the installer targets @hmharness/cli from that registry. - **Evidence against:** The package exposes a CLI and has no install-time lifecycle script that runs on consumer installation., The update endpoint and install target are the package’s own npm registry package; no unrelated recipient or payload endpoint was identified., No credential collection, exfiltration, destructive action, or foreign agent-control-surface mutation was identified in the inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.22.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @hmharness/cli@0.22.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
